Bernie isn't the president, so it's time to stop using him as a whataboutism. If he was the president and failing to get anything done while holding both wings of Congress, I'd be all over him, too.
Biden supporters kept trumpeting his agenda as the most progressive in U.S. history. That's nice, but you have to actually follow through on those progressive elements if you want credit for them.

Bernie is obviously promising to implement things that a president can't do on his own, as was Biden. As was probably every presidential candidate ever. Yeah, they shouldn't promise those things, and should b held accountable when they don't. But not sure how much it matters if no one in that role could do anything differently.
